Samantha is a lover of animals which would be considered a quirk if you lived in 1842 in the fur-trapping and trading country of Oregon.

Her stubbornness means that she sometimes refuses to back down when she should. She refuses to quit even when it seems impossible for her to continue, and she’s not afraid to stand for what is right. Samantha is very bold which can be both her strength and her weakness. I can’t think of an actress who resembles her, but I think the cover artist did an amazing job capturing how I pictured her. She has blue eyes and long, light brown hair that’s covered by a dusty yellow bonnet as she travels on the Oregon Trail. My main character is a feisty eighteen-year-old woman named Samantha Waldron. But when Daniel disappears into the wilderness alone one night, Samantha must rely on the man she loves to rescue her brother before it’s too late. When Alex’s betrothed arrives from Britain, Samantha becomes determined to create a home far away from the fort. When their canoe capsizes on the Columbia River, they rely on handsome British exporter Alexander Clarke to escort them to Fort Vancouver.Ī number of men vie for Samantha’s affections, but the only one who intrigues her is the one she cannot have. After losing her parents along the trail to Oregon Country, Samantha Waldron and her young brother, Daniel, must overcome tremendous challenges to reach the Willamette Valley before winter.


Meet a ferociously determined young woman inĪ young woman traveling the Oregon Trail in 1841 must rely on a stranger to bring her to safety.
